Know why a podcast.
A podcast lets leaders think aloud, share context and answer real questions. It suits people who listen on commutes and shifts.
Pick a simple format.
A short conversation with a colleague each month is easier to sustain than a solo monologue. Ten to twenty minutes is plenty.
Open with the news, then one theme.
Keep it going.
Plan a season of episodes with topics. Collect questions from staff. Publish with a transcript so it is accessible.
